My mom and I used to have a terrible relationship but over the last few years it has improved dramatically. However, my relationship with my dad is terrible at best - if even existent at all. It does feel good to have a better relationship with my mom but it came after a couple decades of screaming and almost hatred. My sister and my mom didn't speak for over 2 years over some stupid fight. However, I think my mom finally being able to forgive my dad for all he did while they were married made her a lot better and happier. She's just an overall awesome person. Sorry you don't experience that.
